No time to privatise
Just as residents of New Providence tuck into another muggy summer of intense load-shedding that (by official statement released in late winter) is not happening, the Guardian chooses this time to call for the selling off of the utility.

So, what news from capsize investigation?
In February, 2019 a boat left Haiti with reportedly 97 persons on board: The boat reported capsized and sunk in Bahamian waters in the Abacos.

Devaluing scholarship
PM Minnis just devalued the credit and scholarship of the University - thanks but no thanks.
